Help setting up Julia on a cluster

[John_Hearns]

@juliohm I asked a similar question recently. You might find this useful:

Package management - an intro?

I see that there is a talk by Stefan Karpinski on Pkg3 package management. Python ‘virtualenv’ is mentioned. Would anyone be kind enough to point me towards a gentle intro to Julia package management. My specific interest is managing Julia installaitons and package on HPC clusters, where there is traditionally a central installation on a shared network drive. However people can and do want to install specific packages or bleeding edge versions for their own use.
